Whats the difference between Massage and Structural bodywork? 

Sessions start:  We start with a conversation about your body history and an in depth visual body reading.  You will receive a welcome email, containing your history form, consent form, and covid compliance form.

In a Structural Bodywork session:  You become an active participant in the process. It’s a collaboration between therapist inputs and your movement. It’s a type of spacial medicine designed to ultimately create a felt sense of whole body balance or centering or kinestetic awareness.  There will be times you will get up and walk around during the session.  

During the body reading:  In order to see body patterns with anatomical specificity the ideal clothing would be underwear, sports bras, loose fitting shorts (like runners shorts), swim suits,  or bottoms and chest coverings that have the least amount of coverage along the spine.  Thats the ideal, however your comfort is priority.   While skin to skin contact is ideal, working over fabrics that are thin and soft are also options. 

Meet your Structural Integrator:

Amy Dalton

History:

17+ yr Veteran, former helicopter mechanic turn organic mechanic as my family would say. My massage journey morphed into my own healing journey.  By living an active lifestyle (army, power lifting, yoga, biking etc)  combined with the “push through” mentality, a knack for proving my strength capabilities and my ever changing lifestyle. I started to see injuries, life experiences, and even emotional experiences written on my body.  I was loosing my resilience, joy and love for life, as well as movement.  Which lead me to manual therapy. Massage was merely the first step, leaving me with curiosities of “why”, ultimately leading me to Structural Integration. Structural integration reads the WHOLE body, and places inputs through the system to integrate which makes deeper changes. In a sense, the process is an unraveling of life patterns, to bring back a sense of neutrality, and centering in the body. Ultimately it was a vehicle that helped me become more at home and safe within my body. Integrating parts of my body and experience I was disconnected from. This shifted into other areas in my life and restored my relationship with my body. We are no longer opposing forces, just a team exploring the vibrancy and joy of the world again.
